Alas, but I only have red HeNe... Forgot the Kimmon HeCd though! It doesn't fire, but I haven't tried hooking it up to a proper 240 outlet yet vs a transformer, or trying a violet ray to help ionize the tube. I was able to get a response from a guy at Kimmon who said that model is the one

Don't laugh, but I recently threw out a pile of 486 stuff, mobos, proc, even PIII, etc. And a couple of 8086! I recently bought a usb floppy drive because my HP hybrid scope has one in it for storing traces and such and also to upgrade firmware, etc. I actually started an inventory of my

Hah. You have to have very specialised interests. I often think nobody will know what do with my stuff but I just offered a old HP floppy/hard drive (that I'd been sitting on long after the HP85 computer had gone) to the VintHP group and I was amazed to find they nearly bit my arm off for it. On

Without knowing your exact design I cannot recommend a specific xtal. For instance, PIC processors recommend a xtal with a load capacity of about 12pF, while other designs are optimized for different xtals. Often the devise data sheet will give you a short list of recommended xtals which have

The DS3232 has an internal crystal, with periodic temperature compensation (every 100 seconds). There are also non-volatile trim registers that allow you to fine-tune the trimming even further, though I have not needed to do that. You wont be able to use a scope to fine-tune the crystal
